Autopilot CO2 Replacement Sensor for the APC8200
This replacement probe returns an APC8200 CO2 monitor and controller to accurate readings. It uses a 2-channel low-drift NDIR element that resists calibration drift over long runs. A 15 ft data cable lets you place the probe at canopy height while the controller stays at eye level. An integrated photocell recognizes lights-on and lights-off cycles.
Placing a Remote CO2 Sensor in a Grow Room
Mount the probe where the plants actually sit, not up near the ceiling where CO2 stratifies. The 15 ft lead reaches most tent and room layouts from a wall-mounted controller. Keep it clear of direct water and the generator exhaust plume. Once plugged in, the APC8200 reads from the new probe right away.
Key Features
- 2-channel low-drift NDIR: Infrared sensing holds calibration over long grow cycles.
- 15 ft data cable: Places the probe at canopy height while the controller stays accessible.
- Integrated photocell: Recognizes lights-on and lights-off for smarter CO2 timing.
- Direct APC8200 fit: Plugs into the existing controller as a straight replacement.
- Remote placement: Reads CO2 where the plants sit, not where it pools near the ceiling.
